erlware/erlware_commons

This system is a collection of Erlang utility libraries, likely part of the Erlware Common Components project, designed to provide foundational tools for command-line applications and general software development. It offers capabilities for structured logging with ANSI color support, semantic version parsing, and type conversion utilities. Additionally, it implements a unified dictionary behavior that abstracts over various underlying data structures like lists, maps, and trees, all supported by comprehensive unit tests.

A new header file, include/ec\_cmd\_log.hrl, has been added to define logging severity macros (EC\_ERROR, EC\_WARN, EC\_INFO, EC\_DEBUG) for use in the system's command-line programming module.

This change introduces several new modules to the library. The \ec\_cmd\_log\ module provides a structured logging API for command-line applications, supporting log levels (debug, info, warn, error) and ANSI color output. The \ec\_cnv\ module adds utility functions for converting terms between types (e.g., string to integer, binary to atom) with strict and non-strict modes. Additionally, the \ec\_dictionary\ behavior and its implementations (\ec\_assoc\_list\, \ec\_dict\, \ec\_gb\_trees\, \ec\_orddict\) provide a unified interface for key-value stores, allowing users to switch between different underlying data structures (lists, dicts, gb\_trees, or ord\_dicts) via a common API.

A new PEG grammar file (ec\_semver\_parser.peg) has been added to the priv directory to define the parsing rules for semantic version strings. This grammar handles major, minor, and patch numeric components, optional pre-release identifiers (alpha parts), and build metadata, converting numeric segments to integers and alpha segments to binaries during the parse process.

Added new EUnit test suites for several Erlware Common Components modules, including ec\_cmd\_log, ec\_cnv, ec\_file, ec\_gb\_trees, ec\_git\_vsn, ec\_lists, ec\_plists, ec\_semver, and ec\_talk. These tests verify core functionality such as log level handling, type conversions, file operations, dictionary management, version parsing, list processing, and semantic version comparison.

The project has migrated its build system from rebar2 to rebar3, replacing the previous configuration with a new rebar.config that depends on the cf library (version 0.3) and configures EUnit and cover reporting. A rebar.config.script is now used to conditionally apply dialyzer warnings based on the OTP release version, and a rebar.lock file has been added to manage dependency resolution.
